The use of the word "accident" in the above story is also not accurate IMHO, for the same reason why "car accident" isn't:
> The two groups behind the recent campaign — Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets — argue that the term "accident" makes it seem like crashes are inevitable, rather than preventable. In a subtle way, it normalizes the crash and discourages us from looking more deeply into their causes — whether alcohol, reckless driving, or bad street design.

Certainly the training they got during service is good, but the GP's point about not much training being needed isn't as simple as he makes it out IMHO.
